Step Into Management Accounting
Artemis Human Capital is exclusively partnering with a growing, well-structured business to recruit an Assistant Accountant ready to take the next step towards Management Accounts.
This role is designed for someone who wants more than transactional exposure — offering the chance to get properly involved in month-end, reporting and financial analysis, while still maintaining a strong grounding in core finance operations.
You’ll work closely with an experienced Head of Finance, gaining hands-on exposure and the support needed to develop into a more senior accounting role.
Key points:
- Clear pathway towards Management Accounts responsibility
- Hands-on involvement in month-end and reporting
- Direct mentorship from senior finance leadership
- Opportunity to step beyond transactional finance
- Flexible start times and supportive culture
- Strong benefits and study support
This is a broad, progressive role where you’ll gradually take on more responsibility across financial reporting and analysis.
You’ll split your time between supporting month-end and maintaining strong control across day-to-day finance processes — giving you the full picture of how a finance function operates.
Typical duties
Developing Your Month-End Experience
- Support the preparation of monthly management accounts
- Post journals, accruals and prepayments
- Complete balance sheet reconciliations
- Assist with variance analysis and reporting packs
- Support audit and year-end processes
Building Operational Strength

- Maintain accurate ledgers and financial records
- Resolve queries and ensure smooth day-to-day processing
- Support cashflow-related activities
Gaining Broader Exposure
- Assist with pricing and financial queries across the business
- Support quarterly claims and financial adjustments
- Contribute to process improvements and reporting enhancements
- Work closely with the Head of Finance on priorities and deadlines
What we are looking for
You’re at the stage where you want to move beyond pure processing and into a more analytical, reporting-focused role.
- Part-qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or qualified Accounting Technician
- Experience in an Assistant Accountant or similar finance role
- Exposure to month-end processes and reconciliations
- Strong Excel skills and systems experience
- Curious, motivated and keen to progress
Benefits of the role:
- Real exposure to management accounts preparation
- Ongoing support and mentorship
- A structured path to progression
- Study support and development opportunities
- A role where you can grow with the business
